Hello Primary 1 😀

Another super busy week in Primary 1 this week. I hope you have all had a fabulous week. Apologies SWAY is not working this week so I will upload pictures from this week in next weeks blog.

This week we were learning about the sound “u.” We joined in with the jolly phonics song and practiced the sound while doing the action of putting up an umbrella. We painted umbrellas this week and built up towers as well as practicing our formation of the letter.

We have also been practicing our adding skills and have been working hard to learn strategies to help us add such as counting on.

This week, we were learning about Vets and how they can help us take care of our pets. We learned what they do in their job and got to role play being a vet and taking care of all of the sick animals in the class.

We had Red Nose Day today and we made Red Nose characters using jam cream biscuits with jam in the the middle as the nose. They all looked fab. We also did a fantastic piece of writing about our red nose characters and what they were up to. The whole school took part in an obstacle course for Red Nose Day and we had a brilliant time doing this (luckily before the rain started).

REMINDER for reading books (for those that have one) if they could be read as often as possible to give the class more exposure to blending CVC words and their common words. There are helpful tips inside the front and back covers for how to read with your child. Please remember to put the books back in their bag every day as we need them in class. Thank you for your support with homework and reading, it is really appreciated as I know home lives are very busy.

Have a lovely weekend,

Miss Baillie
